あらすじ・解説

Gilbert Keith Chesterton was born in Campden Hill, Kensington, on May 29th, 1874.

Originally, after attending St Paul's School, he went to Slade to learn the art of illustration. In 1896 he joined a small London publisher and began his journalistic career as a freelance art and literary critic before going on to writing weekly columns in the Daily News and the Illustrated London News.

In 1901 he married Frances Blogg, to whom he remained married for the rest of his life.

For many he is known as a very fine novelist and the creator of the Father Brown Detective stories, which were much influenced by his own beliefs. A large man - 6’ 4” and 21st in weight - he was apt to be forgetful in that delightful way that the British sometimes are, such as a telegram home to his wife saying he was in one place, but musing where should he actually be.

He was prolific in many other areas; he wrote plays, short stories, and essays, loved to debate and wrote hundreds of poems. It is on his poems that we concentrate this volume. They range from the virtues and vices of England and the English to his worldview and religious beliefs.

G. K. Chesterton died of congestive heart failure on 14th June, 1936, and is buried in Beaconsfield just outside of London.

This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialised imprint from Deadtree Publishing. Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.
